Last year Audi embraced vampires in its Super Bowl spot.
The first pictures from this year's 60-second ad, created by Venables Bell & Partners, look more like a Taylor Swift music video for dudes. It's all about the power of young love and overcoming obstacles to get with the prom queen.
This is very different from how Coca-Cola is asking viewers to choose-their-own-Super-Bowl-ad-ending. Coke is asking viewers to vote on whether they want cowboys, biker dudes, or showgirls to get a refreshing can of Coke in the sweltering desert. Coke created supplementary work to encourage consumers to vote, and won't reveal the winner or final creative until it airs during the game.
Now take a look at Audi's preview of its ad.
Here's our hero, driving a brand new 2013 Audi S6. (He can't be too much of an outcast.)
He's determined to make something happen at prom.
And there you have it. He gets to make out with the prom queen. Students are shocked. It's just like a Taylor Swift music video.
